Victor the Vegan

In the treasury that contains this strip, this is the author's commentary:
"If you were wondering if vegans have a sense of humor about strips like this, wonder no more:
'Dear Stephen, Your Victor the Vegan character ... must come from your deep well of guilt and shame that you feel due to your complicity in the destruction of the environment and innocent lives because of your food choices.'
The truth is that I feel neither guilt nor shame. But I do wish she'd spell my name correctly."
